The IHitr Ihe Whig. Disappointed, oppressed, and defrauded as the Whigs have boon, we know them better than to believe for a moment that they harbor a thought of foar or despair. Cheated, plundered and wronged as they are by the now Apportionment of the Congressional representation, they will not strike their flag or surrender the ship without a struggle. They will again appeal to the people for a restitution of their rights, and for a rebuke to those daring usurpers, who in the pursuit of personal and party objects have trampled down the safe guards of the Constitution and viola-tod the most sacred claims of Americas Freemen ! There yet remains a sense of justice and of honor in the breasts of the people. They will notsaiction the tyranny and the lust for power, displayed by the political majority in die Legislature, and which, it rt.be not checked and reproved, would soon dig me 'ravo of constitutional and republican government.

T Ihe IVBiarnltSAd fleriaani, Fellow Citizens: In essaying to address you on matters connected with the present condition of your adopted country, we regret that the peculiarity of your situation renders it necessary to draw any distinction between you and any other portion ul we people. Thank Heaven, we have here no classes in society recognised by law. The worthy and the un worthy are the only distinctions; and when we say fellow citizens, we say all, that the greatest among us ought to aspire to, except to save the country. You have einiff rated from a country where you had little, if any, influence upon the action of the government, and taken up your residence in one where, in political weight, you have no superiors. Here, the political fabric was raised by the hands of others, and without any assistance from you, because, you were not here to afford any. Your condition is like that of a man invited ta reside in a well furnished mansion, free of rent, on no other condition than that he ahull contribute to keep the building in good condition. Is it not then a solemn duty on your part, to be careful that you do not commit waste, or dilapidation ? To the pursuit of this course, you have every inducement common to all other description of citizens. Ho long as you remain here, your destiny is inseparable from the great moss. In the cuuntry you came from, very few of you could hope to become proprietors; renters and dependants there constitute the great body of the people; here, you become the owners of the furms you till, and houses you live in. If public convenience calls for a modification of the laws, you havo an equal suffrage. These blessings, alter your knowledge of their value, drawn from your own personal experience, it is sincerely hopd you will duly appreciate. The sum of human happiness to be enjoyed in this world, very much depends on the administration of the government as well as upon its structure. The two worst governments, are a despotism under a cruel and tyrannical sovereign, and a popular government in the hands of a licentious and corrupt party. Names in relation to these matters, are not of as much importance as many aro inclined to attach to them. On these subjects, we are aware that much pnins have been taken to prejudice your minds on your first coming among us, with a design to impose upon your ireiierous confidence. You have been respectively told that there is hero an aristocratic parly, similar to what you have known in Kuropc t that the Whigs composo that party, and that tho party to which theso pretended disinterested advisers ot yours belong, is the sainted Democratic party; the real liberty men; the poor man's friend, &c. IHuw there is in all this nothing new ; it has exis ted in sumo shape or other in nil time, in any country where there was a pcoplo to be deceived, or po litical incendiaries to powmi the public mind, tor Uieir own agrandizemcnt Homo of you, follow citizens, may he old enough, and H not, must have learned from your fathers, the sull'erings inflicted upon your native country, by the enormities of the French revolutionists, and must have thence learned that tho promises by demagogues to produce a political millennium, are not to he confided in. Your residence in the vicinity of Franco must hive made you in some measure acquainted with the misery inflicted on a brave people, mado captive by a club of mad men, falsely assuming tho sirred name of liberty; mid the bleached bones which aro yet to be seen on the fields yuu hnvo been accustomed to cultivate, must have opened your eyes to the humble curse of being subjects to a faction tint knows no law but that of its own will. Theso things, we should suppose, must be almost as familiar to you as your own family history. But what were the consequences resulting to the countries of western Germany by submitting to tho seductive influence of these mock Ueuiorrnts? Did prosperity immediately succeed their putting themselves under French protection ? To this you will answer, no. After losing the flower of their young men in battles in which they hud no interest their wealth destroyci, and tnc whole land dilapidated, they were deserted, as all victims of seduction ever have been and ever win he, nnd Iett to the conse quences of their own credulity. And why was nil this ? Your grandfathers and their sons were flattered with the idea that French Democratic fraternity would infallibly rid the world of all political evil; when, in truth, the great effort was to place the lov ers and conductors of the revolution on the thrones of Ihe ancient monarchies. This same fell spirit is now abroad in this country, as will be accn by a comparison of principles and practices of the parties in the two countries. The French revolutionists began by declarations in favor of reform. The profligate character of the old govern ment renaereu every wnnif appearing nnuur umi piisu plausible. But no sooner hud they upset the monarchy, than they discovered yet another obstacle to the prosecution of their schemes of ambition. Their profligacy could not prosper whilst a christian spirit pervaded the people. The public mind must be debauched. They therefore commenced an attack up on religion and morals, by declaring that all religious rites wcro the most absurd superstitions, l hoy pro cured tho Dishops to appear in the Legintativo flail nnd publicly to tibjtiro and renounce the christian religion, after which thoy abolished the Hubbalh by law. Pursuing their frantic and unhallowed course, they procured a woman of great beauty, but of doubtful morality, to be enthroned in tho National Assembly as the representative of Reason, the only acknowl edged divinity. I his wonmn Uiey carried ss a irod- dess in magnificent proressions to tho Cathedral of Hans, and there trented her as the emblem ot thai divinity which they had blasphemously substituted tor the creator ot tue universe. But they did not stop hero. Tu addition to these outrages they passed laws declaring mama no to he only a civil contract, dissolvable at the pleusurc of the parties, and that illegitimate children were to possess equal rights ot inheritance with tnoso oorn in wedlock. All the settled usngea of the people were abolinhcd: scenes ot perpetual chaniro and ut ter uncertainty took their nlaces. and tho property, liberties, and lives of the people became the sport of liic alternate factions which an unceasing process of intrigue, murder, and rapine, enabled lo wield the power ot the nation. And can you not, fellow citizens, see the same spirit at work hero ? Not to bo sure ot tho same sanguinary character, because wo aro not a military nconlo inured to scenes of blood : hut, a ffcrin of the spirit of innovation and contempt for the lessons of experience and moral sentiment, which under the nursing care of a vaulting political ambition, will in a short time arrive to count maturity? Cannot you see the demon of inconstancy urging us on to suc cessive changes? Uur puhlic cuitncils are no Ion-gcr guided by wisdom, but havo been taken posses- sion of by reckless projectors. Tho fathers of the land, the rounders ot our Mtale, aro no longer regard ed, but the doctrines of all are surrendered into the keeninff of men whots only care seems to be the ere ation ot one political hobby after another, as old ones wear out and lull. But this is not the only resemblance between these men and their exemplars of the French revolution. They practice the same vile domination and abuse n y wnicn mo minus ui uie raruuan popumro were phrenr.ied, 1 hey put hmn every species ot imaginary evil as about to he indicted uixm tho people un less they submit to the party behests ; atnvo to inflame their minds into a belief ot their rrnlitv. and cvl upon them to act upon these ridiculously fulsn issues. Kead their essays, examine their simechcs, and you not (ind in them any thing thai in candor can be cither regarded as tact or argument. 1 hat is not fel low citizens the way that men conscious ot tho jus tice of their cause will conduct a conttovorsv. For a long peril d of tiino they have been domain cinir everything wronir, and promising if the ship of Stato was only submitted tu their iiinnngement, they would conduct it into a haven uf unalloyed feli city, liy tins and other such devices they hove de ceived the people, and for years wielded the power of the State. Hut tho political paradise they have so long promised, has not yet made its appearance. Chaniro after change has been producod, but they have been followed by evils, each greater than ita predecessor. In this way they havo preyed on tho vitals ol tho country, until universal prostration is starinff us in the face. It may however be said that the comparison of these men to tho revolutionists of franco is not just, because hero no blood haa been spilt. True they have not resorted to the use of Uie bloody guillotine, by means ot which scores ol thou sands were beheaded without trial. And why ? be cause the genius of our people is not yet prepared lor such scenes, nor are they necessary. In r ranee power was acquired and maintained by numeric a Lbrce, whilst hore it depends Ukiii sullrugo. llenco our demagogues have sought to destroy the elective privilege, rather than the lives of the people, which answered them an equally effectual purose by so apportioning the state representation mat more than half that number of freemen are excluded from all influence in tho passage of laws, - Hut the parallel does not stop here. The same fool c riot that exhibited themselves, in the legislative assemblies of Franco, are finding their way into our legislature, and scenes of disorder and disregard of decorum and settled rules are becoming rife. All regard for individual rights is scouted by many in COLUMBUS, thit assembly. The existing law which requires proof of one months notice, previous to the presentation to the Legi 8 him to even of a petition for its action, on matters affecting individual rights, is now totally disregarded ; and laws upon such subjects are hurried to their passage, without time for any exami nation. The consequence has been, mat marriage, the most solemn of all contracts, has in many instances been thus abrogated, with as much apparent unconcern as they would vote ten dollars exira p iy to one of their messenger boys. In this hurried manner the late Legislature passed thirteen acts of divorce, and in order to facilitate that grand work, they passed a irenoral law to ffive to the Courts of Common Pleas power to grant divorces, without the right of appeal, w nether these oinoruox ncrnocrats win ue content with that or will contend that the improvement shall be carried to the extent of submitting all such matters to the determination of town moetings, in tho several townships, remains to be Been. Be that, however, as it may, no one can doubt that the light in which these thingB are regarded by those who now wield the power of the State, will in time produce a declension of morals alarming to every lover of Iiis country. No People who disregard the rights of women, and the sanctity of the marriage relation, can Ion it remain prosperous and nanny. We have here fellow citizens, very briefly pointed out to you, some of the of principles and acts of a party among us. that assumes to itself, as did the jac- ohins and other revolutionary factions of France, the exclusive right to be considered the democracy. We qbIc vou to discard their false proton cos, and judge by the rules of truth and experience. So far as regards our pecuniary matters, it is, practically a very simple altiir. For a number of years theso men have been pointing you to the political elysium ! in the distance, with the extravagant assurance that you were just at the portal ; but lo! like the tints of tho bow in the clouds, it has continually receded as you have advanced; and it is now further off than over. Compare your earnings of the last year, with that of any one previous to raising of the shout of auk relorm, and let the dittereuce decide your judgment. II you ore individually in better circum stances than at any time hetore then, wo anK you not to adhere to our counsel. If you find general business more active, employment easier procured, and more productive, wages better and more punctually paid, and less distress and difficulty in money con cerns, then continue your confidence in the men who ply you to adhere to them as your only menus. Jiut t ttiese tuinifs are not so, then no longer yield to me false clnrge addressed to your prejudices, that the Whiffs are the enemies nl the Oerirmns. ucli mean contemptible falsehoods are reflections upon your un- lerstandings; and ought to be treated by you with mcritod contempt (7 FllOtI WAMHl.-VUTO.

Indeed, wc have ru mors here, which ussu.no to-dny ruiucr an aumeniic look, that important changes in your Custom House have been determined upon.

The recent decision of the Supremo Court In a a case tlironson vs. Wctvonzie and others.) by the u, S. Circuit Court for tho District of Illinois, wholly overthrows all valuation, stay and relief laws, as be ing in violation of that clause of Uio lOlh section of thu 1st article of the constitution of the United States, which prohibits a Slate from passing a law impairing the obligation of contracts. The opinion of the Court, which was read by the Chief Justice, shews the distinction between the oWiafiou ot a contract and the remedy, and lays down the broad prin- iple that tho Stute laws and remedies cx miner at the date of any contract, are as effectually, in law, a jMrt of the contract, as if transcribed and incorpora ted in the body ut the instrument it sell, ihis decision is uf so much importance that we copy from the opinion of the Court the following clear exhibition of its general principles: A. J. Jhfotrliser. As concerns the obligations ot the contract upon which this controversy has arisen, Uiey depend upon the laws of Illinois as they stood at tho time the mortgage deed was executed. Ihe money due was indeed to be paid in Now York. But the mortgago given to securo the debt was mado in Illinois, for real property situated in that State, and the right' Inch the mortirugce acquired in the premises, de pended upon the laws of that State. In other words. the existing laws of Illinois created and defined the legal and equitable obligations ot Uie mortgage con tract. If Uie laws of a State, passed afterward had done nothing nioro than change tho remedy upon contracts of this description, they would bo liable to no constitutional objection. For undoubtedly a State may regulate at pleusurc the modes of proceeding in us conn m relation m pusi contracts as wen as iu- ture. It may, for example, shorten the period of tunc within which claims shall bo barred by the sta tue ot limitations, u may, it it sees proper, direct that the necessary implements of agriculture, or the tools id' the mechanic, or articles of necessity, in lousehold furniture, shull, Iiko wearing apparel, not be subject to execution on judgment Regulations ot Uns description havo always been considered in every civilixed community, as properly belonging to the remedy, to be exercised or not by every sovereignly, according to its own views of policy and humanity. It must reside iu every state to enable it to secure its citizens from unjust and har rowing litigation, and to protect them in those pursuits which are necessary to the existence and well-being of every community. And although a new remedy may be deemed less convenient than the old one, and may in some degree render Uie recovery of lebts more tardy and dithcult, yet it will not follow rfmt the aw i unconstitutional. Whatever belonm merely to Uie remedy may be altered according to the win oi me Mate, provided the alteration doc? not impair the obligation of Uie contract. But if lhat effect is produced, it is immaterial whether it is done by acting on Uie remedy, or directly on Uie contract iUelf. In cither case, it is prohibited by tho constitution.This subject came before tho Supreme Court iti the case of Creon vs. 11 id die, decided in && and reiHirted in 8 Wheat. 1. It appears to have been twice eiiiuorateiy argued by counsel on both sides, and de liberately considered by the Court Un the part of i ue ucmanuani in mat case u waa insisted that the laws ot Kentucky passed in l?H7and lHpi, concerning occupying claimants of land, impaired the obligation of Uio compact mado with Virginia in l?cU On the other hand it waa contended that these laws only regulated tho remedy and did nut operate on uio ngnt to the lanus. In deciding Uie point Uie court says: uIt is no an swer lhat Uio acta of Kentucky now in question are regulations of tho remedy, and not of the right to the lands. If Uiose acts so change tho nature and nnd extent ot existing remedies as material I v to im pair tho rights and interest uf tho owner, they are just as much a violation uf the compact as if they directly overturned his rights and interest." And in the opinion delivered bv the Court after the sec ond argument, the same rule is reiterated in language equally atrong isce pages 7r, 7tl and o-t.) l his judgment uf the Court is entitled to Uie more weight be cause the opinion is stated in ihe report of Uie case to have been unanimous; and Judge Washington, wno was me only member ol lite Court sbsent at the first argument delivered tho opinion on the second. vo concur entirely in the correctness ol the rule above stated. It is difficult pcrh ips to draw a lino that would be applicubla in all cases, betwocn legit- mtale alterations o Uio remedy, and provisions which in tho form of remedy impair Uio right But it is manifest Uiat Uie obligation of Uio contract, and the right of a party under it, may in effect be destroyed uy denying a remedy altogether, or may bo seriously impaired by burthen ing the proceedings with new condition and restrictions, so aa to make the remedy hardly worth pursuing. And no one wo presume would any that ihrro is any substantial difference between a retrospective law declaring a particular contract or clans of contracts to be abrogated and void and one which look away all remedy in enforce them, or encumbered it with conditions that rendered it useless or impracticable to pursue it Blsekston. in his commentaries on tho lawa of Kmrland. I vol. .V, after having treated uf ihe declartory and direc tory mrts of the law, defines the remedial in Uie fol lowing words: -The remedial part of the law t so necessary a Cnnsequenco of the former two that awa must be very vagn and imperfect without it rr in vain would rights he declared, in vain directed to bo-oh served, il there were no method of recovering and asserting th.we rights when wrongfully withheld or invaucu. una is wnat wa mean properly when wo apeaa ol ihe protection ol the law. when for in stance the declaratory part of the law has said that th? held and inheritance which belonged to Titus' lathers is vested by his death in Titus; and the d rectory part lis? forbidden anv one to enter on ano ther's property without Uie leave of the owner; if vnina aner uns presumes to lake possession ol tho land, the remedial part of the law will then interpose its ollice t will make Gams restore the possession to Titus and also pay him damage for Uie invasion," v e have quoted uie entire paragraph, because it showa, in a few plain words, and illustrates by a fa miliar example, ihe connection ol tho remedy with the right It is the part of a municipal law which protects the right, and tho obligation by which it enforces and maintains it It is Uiis protection which the clause in the Constitution now in question main ly inienuea to secure, aiiu it wouiu oe unjust to tlio memory of tho distinguished men who framed it to suppose that it was designed to protect a barren and abstract right, without any practical operation upon the bum nous of life. It waa undoubtedly adopted as a part of tho Constitution for a great and usef ul purjHwo. H was to maintain the integrity of contracts and to secure their laithtul execution throughout the Union, by placing them under the protection of the Constitution of the United State?, And it would ill become this Court undor any circumstance to detract from the plain meaning of the words used, and to si net ion a distinction between the right and the remedy which would render this provision illusivo and nugatory mere worda of form affording no protection and producing no practical result Wo proceed to apply these nrinc iplcs to the case before us. According to th? long aettled rule? of law and equity in all the Stale? whose jurisprudence haa been modelled upon the principle? of the common law, the legal title to the premises in quetthn vested in the complainant upon the failure of Uie mortgagor to comply with Uio conditions contained in the proviso. And at the law he had a right to sue for and recover Uie land itself. But in equity this legal title is regarded as a trust estate to secure the payment of the money; and therefore when the debt is discharged, there is a resulting trust for the mortgagor. J Peters, 441. Conrad vs. The Atlantic Insurance Company. When this contract was made no statute had been passed by the Stato changing the rules of law or equity in relation to a contract of this kind. None such, at least, has been brought to the notice of the Court ; and it must therefore be governed, and the rightj of the parties under it measured, by the rules above stated. They were the laws of Illinois at the time, and therefore entered into the contract and formed a part of il, without anu express stipulation to thai ef fect in On deed. Thus, for example, there is no cov enant in the instrument giving the mortgager the right to redeem by paying the money atter the doy limited in the deed, and before he waa foreclosed by the decree of the Com t of Chancery. Yet no one doubts his right or his remedy; for by the laws of the State Uicn in force, this right and this remedy was a part of the law of the contract, without any express agreement of the parties. So also the rights of the mortgagee as known to the laws required no express stipulation to define or secure them. They were annexed to the contract at the time it ivas made, and formed a part of it, and anu subsequent law im- pairint the rights thus acquired impairs the obligation which Uie contract imposed. Prom the ('inrimiati G net is, Put That nnd Thai Trilr. In February last, tho Pennsylvania House of Representatives had ordered an investigation, by committee, into certain allegations of fraud against Canal Commissioners. Mr. Wright, of Luzerno, tho Loeofoco Speaker, addressed the House on the subject, denouncing in strong terms (.overnor Porter's administration for its interference with his duties in selecting the Committee ! " hold in my hand (snid he) a paper containing a list of names written in the hand writing of a Cabinet officer of our State administration; and where, Mr. Siwaker, do you suppose I got it ; and what waa intended by it ? Vou could not guess, and I will tell yuu. 1 his little paper was presented to me shortly after it had been decided by this House that a Committee of Investigation should be appointed to inquire into allegations of fraud against the present Board of Canal Commissioners. That's the way I got it; and now aa to ils purport It pointed out to ITU, IK THE IIA.ND WRIT I NO OP AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER, what members of this House should be placed in thid Committee!! ! u And why all this trouble about this Investigating Committee? Wfiy th is effort on the part of those nearly allied and deep in the confidence of the powers that he, to control the actions of a certain Committee of this House? Could it be to whito-wash the conduct of those who were to pass in review before it? Was it intended by this to cover up cor ruption which smells so strong in the nostrils of the fcuplc Uiat they cry with one voice for their removal ? will leave you, Air. Speaker, and those who hear me, to answer theso interrogations for themselves." Again he says: H A Tyler press is to be started at Harrishurgh in a few days; and it is to be edited by an officer of the State Government; an officer of your State Administration, and who, until quite recently, was a flaming Johnson man. To be sure it is to start nut with Cass, but it is a Tyler press for all Uiat, and will douse Cass at a signal to bo given. Who that un derstands Uie workings, and the sly manouveringsof the managers of this farce, that cannot see through itr Who i? to be Secretary ot War under John ly-ler? What docs all the turning out and turning in, mean, which has been so long promised, that the secret has got out? For -what purpose isioom to be made in Tyler's Cabinet for J.M. Potter, professedly a Cass man now, but how long even professedly so, when he gets a post under President 1 beg his pardon Capuiin Tyler ? It is not because tho Democracy of Pennsylvania desire it No ! the Democracy of Pennsylvania do not recommend Uiis measure." Again, after declaring himself a Buchanan man, he aays : f "I do not want to bo sold and will not be. Mv candidate cannot bo bargained away for an cfove. He and his friends understand themselves too well for that; but I am orry to say, that J am afraid an effort ta now making to haul over a certain etas? of Democrats.

The score-crows of the Anti-Tariff men are dis- si pa ted by experience about as fast a? Uiey can be got up. t irst tho tho INew Tariff was to destroy our shipping interest and all the Bailors in our port were induced tu vote the Loco Foco ticket lost fall, under Uie pretence Uiat Uie Whig tariff had reduced their wages and stopped their business. Now our shipping is fully employed, and freights as high as any reasonable shipper could ask. Then the tariff was to destroy tho revenue; but that humbug haa had it? day. The present tariff will rniso more revenue than that which the W logs found existing when Uiey came into power; and if the revenue tariff men had not grossly deserted their professed principles, by resisting the imposition of a duty on Tea and Coffee, we might have paid off the Government's indebtedness in three or four years "But the tariff enhances the pneo of tho protected article? io Uie consumer," any the Freo Traders, Well, airs, you assert Uiis, now prove it! Here are Uie Price? Current of this year and former yoara; show us where and what has been Uie increaso of price to the consumer! You cannot do it! The facts show irresistibly that on tho articles of which the Home Protection was efficiently protected by the new tariff, there has been an average dimunition of price equal to fifteen or twenty per cent Witness iron and hardware, coal, cotton and woolen fabrics, and all other great staple? protected by tho Tariff. What Iretext is left, then, for amailmg Uie tariff. The ournal of Commerce has discovered the last one-it import? Uiat fortifrn nations cannot pay its for our vast amount of erportablt product under this tariff! We like Uiis. Tne tariff haa turned the balance of trade largely in our favor, and now apecie by the shipload is coming over in payment for our exports, instead of tho fabrics Much we used to buy abroad, but which we are now making much c lienor at home, and thereby giving employment to our own People. Foreign nations can't pay us, and we must atop buying! Excellent! Wo can buy of other nations as easy as not when their duties are 100 per cent, and ours 20, but if we raise ours to the neighborhood of theira, they can't trade with us at all! Our Free Trader? can see clearly that other nations cannot buy unless they are allowed to sell; but wa can buy, whether we aro allowed to sell, or not ! But let ttietn be comforted the case is not without alleviation ; in the first place we need an infusion of apecie, especially if we are not to be allowed any other kind of national currency : and if Kneland and France have as much as is generally believed, they can spar? us sumo with benefit to all partioa. Then wo owe them two or Uiree hundred millions of Slate and mercantile dehts, incurred during tho years of our declining UrilV; and they are ready to sell dog cheap, and take cotton, pork, and wheat in payment So there need bo no trouble borrowed about the manner of getting our pay for a while yet After our currency shall have been reinforced and our debt cancelled, there ia no doubt we shall buy of Europe quite aa much as we can pay for, even under our present Tariff. I. Il Nl The hardness of tho times is a common theme. Nu political speech is made, or editorial essay written, iiardly, which does not descant upon it It ia felt by all, and there aro few who would deny the truth of tho picture drawn below by one who has himself suffered i -The toil of tho husbandman is no longer rewarded, no uinttor how broad his tlolds or promising his harvest Ho tills the earth with the feelings of freeman, but his reward is aa meagre as that of the alave. From this thraldom he anxiuusly limits forward to tho timo when, not only abundance, but ft fair remuneration for hi toil, will crown his laudable and praiseworthy effort.." Hut iMy it so? Why are thu husbandmen so shorn of their just reward? They themselves are measurably to blame. They havo lent their influence to tho party in power, or else hy their supine-ness have permitted Uiem to gain that pnwor. And if they would break the thraldom which has so bat- NUMBER 31. tered Uieir fortunes, or gain the goal in which "abundance and a fair remuneration for toil" ia to await laborer, farmer, merchant and manufacturer, they must rouse themselves, and put far away from Uieru Demagogue and Destructive, and sustain whatever upholds the real, substantial business interest? of the country. War has been successfully made upon this) interest tor Uie last fourteen years, k nas ueen prostrated; every thing else, consequently, haa fallen with it and until that ceases, no clnss will enjoy either this abundance or tins remuneration.

They will again appeal to the people for a restitution of their rights, and for a rebuke to those daring usurpers, who in the pursuit of personal and party objects have trampled down the safe guards of the Constitution and viola-tod the most sacred claims of Americas Freemen ! There yet remains a sense of justice and of honor in the breasts of the people. They will notsaiction the tyranny and the lust for power, displayed by the political majority in die Legislature, and which, it rt.be not checked and reproved, would soon dig me 'ravo of constitutional and republican government.

T Ihe IVBiarnltSAd fleriaani, Fellow Citizens: In essaying to address you on matters connected with the present condition of your adopted country, we regret that the peculiarity of your situation renders it necessary to draw any distinction between you and any other portion ul we people. Thank Heaven, we have here no classes in society recognised by law. The worthy and the un worthy are the only distinctions; and when we say fellow citizens, we say all, that the greatest among us ought to aspire to, except to save the country. You have einiff rated from a country where you had little, if any, influence upon the action of the government, and taken up your residence in one where, in political weight, you have no superiors. Here, the political fabric was raised by the hands of others, and without any assistance from you, because, you were not here to afford any. Your condition is like that of a man invited ta reside in a well furnished mansion, free of rent, on no other condition than that he ahull contribute to keep the building in good condition. Is it not then a solemn duty on your part, to be careful that you do not commit waste, or dilapidation ? To the pursuit of this course, you have every inducement common to all other description of citizens. Ho long as you remain here, your destiny is inseparable from the great moss. In the cuuntry you came from, very few of you could hope to become proprietors; renters and dependants there constitute the great body of the people; here, you become the owners of the furms you till, and houses you live in. If public convenience calls for a modification of the laws, you havo an equal suffrage. These blessings, alter your knowledge of their value, drawn from your own personal experience, it is sincerely hopd you will duly appreciate. The sum of human happiness to be enjoyed in this world, very much depends on the administration of the government as well as upon its structure. The two worst governments, are a despotism under a cruel and tyrannical sovereign, and a popular government in the hands of a licentious and corrupt party. Names in relation to these matters, are not of as much importance as many aro inclined to attach to them. On these subjects, we are aware that much pnins have been taken to prejudice your minds on your first coming among us, with a design to impose upon your ireiierous confidence. You have been respectively told that there is hero an aristocratic parly, similar to what you have known in Kuropc t that the Whigs composo that party, and that tho party to which theso pretended disinterested advisers ot yours belong, is the sainted Democratic party; the real liberty men; the poor man's friend, &c. IHuw there is in all this nothing new ; it has exis ted in sumo shape or other in nil time, in any country where there was a pcoplo to be deceived, or po litical incendiaries to powmi the public mind, tor Uieir own agrandizemcnt Homo of you, follow citizens, may he old enough, and H not, must have learned from your fathers, the sull'erings inflicted upon your native country, by the enormities of the French revolutionists, and must have thence learned that tho promises by demagogues to produce a political millennium, are not to he confided in. Your residence in the vicinity of Franco must hive made you in some measure acquainted with the misery inflicted on a brave people, mado captive by a club of mad men, falsely assuming tho sirred name of liberty; mid the bleached bones which aro yet to be seen on the fields yuu hnvo been accustomed to cultivate, must have opened your eyes to the humble curse of being subjects to a faction tint knows no law but that of its own will. Theso things, we should suppose, must be almost as familiar to you as your own family history. But what were the consequences resulting to the countries of western Germany by submitting to tho seductive influence of these mock Ueuiorrnts? Did prosperity immediately succeed their putting themselves under French protection ? To this you will answer, no. After losing the flower of their young men in battles in which they hud no interest their wealth destroyci, and tnc whole land dilapidated, they were deserted, as all victims of seduction ever have been and ever win he, nnd Iett to the conse quences of their own credulity. And why was nil this ? Your grandfathers and their sons were flattered with the idea that French Democratic fraternity would infallibly rid the world of all political evil; when, in truth, the great effort was to place the lov ers and conductors of the revolution on the thrones of Ihe ancient monarchies. This same fell spirit is now abroad in this country, as will be accn by a comparison of principles and practices of the parties in the two countries. The French revolutionists began by declarations in favor of reform. The profligate character of the old govern ment renaereu every wnnif appearing nnuur umi piisu plausible. But no sooner hud they upset the monarchy, than they discovered yet another obstacle to the prosecution of their schemes of ambition. Their profligacy could not prosper whilst a christian spirit pervaded the people. The public mind must be debauched. They therefore commenced an attack up on religion and morals, by declaring that all religious rites wcro the most absurd superstitions, l hoy pro cured tho Dishops to appear in the Legintativo flail nnd publicly to tibjtiro and renounce the christian religion, after which thoy abolished the Hubbalh by law. Pursuing their frantic and unhallowed course, they procured a woman of great beauty, but of doubtful morality, to be enthroned in tho National Assembly as the representative of Reason, the only acknowl edged divinity. I his wonmn Uiey carried ss a irod- dess in magnificent proressions to tho Cathedral of Hans, and there trented her as the emblem ot thai divinity which they had blasphemously substituted tor the creator ot tue universe. But they did not stop hero. Tu addition to these outrages they passed laws declaring mama no to he only a civil contract, dissolvable at the pleusurc of the parties, and that illegitimate children were to possess equal rights ot inheritance with tnoso oorn in wedlock. All the settled usngea of the people were abolinhcd: scenes ot perpetual chaniro and ut ter uncertainty took their nlaces. and tho property, liberties, and lives of the people became the sport of liic alternate factions which an unceasing process of intrigue, murder, and rapine, enabled lo wield the power ot the nation. And can you not, fellow citizens, see the same spirit at work hero ? Not to bo sure ot tho same sanguinary character, because wo aro not a military nconlo inured to scenes of blood : hut, a ffcrin of the spirit of innovation and contempt for the lessons of experience and moral sentiment, which under the nursing care of a vaulting political ambition, will in a short time arrive to count maturity? Cannot you see the demon of inconstancy urging us on to suc cessive changes? Uur puhlic cuitncils are no Ion-gcr guided by wisdom, but havo been taken posses- sion of by reckless projectors. Tho fathers of the land, the rounders ot our Mtale, aro no longer regard ed, but the doctrines of all are surrendered into the keeninff of men whots only care seems to be the ere ation ot one political hobby after another, as old ones wear out and lull. But this is not the only resemblance between these men and their exemplars of the French revolution. They practice the same vile domination and abuse n y wnicn mo minus ui uie raruuan popumro were phrenr.ied, 1 hey put hmn every species ot imaginary evil as about to he indicted uixm tho people un less they submit to the party behests ; atnvo to inflame their minds into a belief ot their rrnlitv. and cvl upon them to act upon these ridiculously fulsn issues. Kead their essays, examine their simechcs, and you not (ind in them any thing thai in candor can be cither regarded as tact or argument. 1 hat is not fel low citizens the way that men conscious ot tho jus tice of their cause will conduct a conttovorsv. For a long peril d of tiino they have been domain cinir everything wronir, and promising if the ship of Stato was only submitted tu their iiinnngement, they would conduct it into a haven uf unalloyed feli city, liy tins and other such devices they hove de ceived the people, and for years wielded the power of the State. Hut tho political paradise they have so long promised, has not yet made its appearance. Chaniro after change has been producod, but they have been followed by evils, each greater than ita predecessor. In this way they havo preyed on tho vitals ol tho country, until universal prostration is starinff us in the face. It may however be said that the comparison of these men to tho revolutionists of franco is not just, because hero no blood haa been spilt. True they have not resorted to the use of Uie bloody guillotine, by means ot which scores ol thou sands were beheaded without trial. And why ? be cause the genius of our people is not yet prepared lor such scenes, nor are they necessary. In r ranee power was acquired and maintained by numeric a Lbrce, whilst hore it depends Ukiii sullrugo. llenco our demagogues have sought to destroy the elective privilege, rather than the lives of the people, which answered them an equally effectual purose by so apportioning the state representation mat more than half that number of freemen are excluded from all influence in tho passage of laws, - Hut the parallel does not stop here. The same fool c riot that exhibited themselves, in the legislative assemblies of Franco, are finding their way into our legislature, and scenes of disorder and disregard of decorum and settled rules are becoming rife. All regard for individual rights is scouted by many in COLUMBUS, thit assembly. The existing law which requires proof of one months notice, previous to the presentation to the Legi 8 him to even of a petition for its action, on matters affecting individual rights, is now totally disregarded ; and laws upon such subjects are hurried to their passage, without time for any exami nation. The consequence has been, mat marriage, the most solemn of all contracts, has in many instances been thus abrogated, with as much apparent unconcern as they would vote ten dollars exira p iy to one of their messenger boys. In this hurried manner the late Legislature passed thirteen acts of divorce, and in order to facilitate that grand work, they passed a irenoral law to ffive to the Courts of Common Pleas power to grant divorces, without the right of appeal, w nether these oinoruox ncrnocrats win ue content with that or will contend that the improvement shall be carried to the extent of submitting all such matters to the determination of town moetings, in tho several townships, remains to be Been. Be that, however, as it may, no one can doubt that the light in which these thingB are regarded by those who now wield the power of the State, will in time produce a declension of morals alarming to every lover of Iiis country. No People who disregard the rights of women, and the sanctity of the marriage relation, can Ion it remain prosperous and nanny. We have here fellow citizens, very briefly pointed out to you, some of the of principles and acts of a party among us. that assumes to itself, as did the jac- ohins and other revolutionary factions of France, the exclusive right to be considered the democracy. We qbIc vou to discard their false proton cos, and judge by the rules of truth and experience. So far as regards our pecuniary matters, it is, practically a very simple altiir. For a number of years theso men have been pointing you to the political elysium ! in the distance, with the extravagant assurance that you were just at the portal ; but lo! like the tints of tho bow in the clouds, it has continually receded as you have advanced; and it is now further off than over. Compare your earnings of the last year, with that of any one previous to raising of the shout of auk relorm, and let the dittereuce decide your judgment. II you ore individually in better circum stances than at any time hetore then, wo anK you not to adhere to our counsel. If you find general business more active, employment easier procured, and more productive, wages better and more punctually paid, and less distress and difficulty in money con cerns, then continue your confidence in the men who ply you to adhere to them as your only menus. Jiut t ttiese tuinifs are not so, then no longer yield to me false clnrge addressed to your prejudices, that the Whiffs are the enemies nl the Oerirmns. ucli mean contemptible falsehoods are reflections upon your un- lerstandings; and ought to be treated by you with mcritod contempt (7 FllOtI WAMHl.-VUTO.

The recent decision of the Supremo Court In a a case tlironson vs. Wctvonzie and others.) by the u, S. Circuit Court for tho District of Illinois, wholly overthrows all valuation, stay and relief laws, as be ing in violation of that clause of Uio lOlh section of thu 1st article of the constitution of the United States, which prohibits a Slate from passing a law impairing the obligation of contracts. The opinion of the Court, which was read by the Chief Justice, shews the distinction between the oWiafiou ot a contract and the remedy, and lays down the broad prin- iple that tho Stute laws and remedies cx miner at the date of any contract, are as effectually, in law, a jMrt of the contract, as if transcribed and incorpora ted in the body ut the instrument it sell, ihis decision is uf so much importance that we copy from the opinion of the Court the following clear exhibition of its general principles: A. J. Jhfotrliser. As concerns the obligations ot the contract upon which this controversy has arisen, Uiey depend upon the laws of Illinois as they stood at tho time the mortgage deed was executed. Ihe money due was indeed to be paid in Now York. But the mortgago given to securo the debt was mado in Illinois, for real property situated in that State, and the right' Inch the mortirugce acquired in the premises, de pended upon the laws of that State. In other words. the existing laws of Illinois created and defined the legal and equitable obligations ot Uie mortgage con tract. If Uie laws of a State, passed afterward had done nothing nioro than change tho remedy upon contracts of this description, they would bo liable to no constitutional objection. For undoubtedly a State may regulate at pleusurc the modes of proceeding in us conn m relation m pusi contracts as wen as iu- ture. It may, for example, shorten the period of tunc within which claims shall bo barred by the sta tue ot limitations, u may, it it sees proper, direct that the necessary implements of agriculture, or the tools id' the mechanic, or articles of necessity, in lousehold furniture, shull, Iiko wearing apparel, not be subject to execution on judgment Regulations ot Uns description havo always been considered in every civilixed community, as properly belonging to the remedy, to be exercised or not by every sovereignly, according to its own views of policy and humanity. It must reside iu every state to enable it to secure its citizens from unjust and har rowing litigation, and to protect them in those pursuits which are necessary to the existence and well-being of every community. And although a new remedy may be deemed less convenient than the old one, and may in some degree render Uie recovery of lebts more tardy and dithcult, yet it will not follow rfmt the aw i unconstitutional. Whatever belonm merely to Uie remedy may be altered according to the win oi me Mate, provided the alteration doc? not impair the obligation of Uie contract. But if lhat effect is produced, it is immaterial whether it is done by acting on Uie remedy, or directly on Uie contract iUelf. In cither case, it is prohibited by tho constitution.This subject came before tho Supreme Court iti the case of Creon vs. 11 id die, decided in && and reiHirted in 8 Wheat. 1. It appears to have been twice eiiiuorateiy argued by counsel on both sides, and de liberately considered by the Court Un the part of i ue ucmanuani in mat case u waa insisted that the laws ot Kentucky passed in l?H7and lHpi, concerning occupying claimants of land, impaired the obligation of Uio compact mado with Virginia in l?cU On the other hand it waa contended that these laws only regulated tho remedy and did nut operate on uio ngnt to the lanus. In deciding Uie point Uie court says: uIt is no an swer lhat Uio acta of Kentucky now in question are regulations of tho remedy, and not of the right to the lands. If Uiose acts so change tho nature and nnd extent ot existing remedies as material I v to im pair tho rights and interest uf tho owner, they are just as much a violation uf the compact as if they directly overturned his rights and interest." And in the opinion delivered bv the Court after the sec ond argument, the same rule is reiterated in language equally atrong isce pages 7r, 7tl and o-t.) l his judgment uf the Court is entitled to Uie more weight be cause the opinion is stated in ihe report of Uie case to have been unanimous; and Judge Washington, wno was me only member ol lite Court sbsent at the first argument delivered tho opinion on the second. vo concur entirely in the correctness ol the rule above stated. It is difficult pcrh ips to draw a lino that would be applicubla in all cases, betwocn legit- mtale alterations o Uio remedy, and provisions which in tho form of remedy impair Uio right But it is manifest Uiat Uie obligation of Uio contract, and the right of a party under it, may in effect be destroyed uy denying a remedy altogether, or may bo seriously impaired by burthen ing the proceedings with new condition and restrictions, so aa to make the remedy hardly worth pursuing. And no one wo presume would any that ihrro is any substantial difference between a retrospective law declaring a particular contract or clans of contracts to be abrogated and void and one which look away all remedy in enforce them, or encumbered it with conditions that rendered it useless or impracticable to pursue it Blsekston. in his commentaries on tho lawa of Kmrland. I vol. .V, after having treated uf ihe declartory and direc tory mrts of the law, defines the remedial in Uie fol lowing words: -The remedial part of the law t so necessary a Cnnsequenco of the former two that awa must be very vagn and imperfect without it rr in vain would rights he declared, in vain directed to bo-oh served, il there were no method of recovering and asserting th.we rights when wrongfully withheld or invaucu. una is wnat wa mean properly when wo apeaa ol ihe protection ol the law. when for in stance the declaratory part of the law has said that th? held and inheritance which belonged to Titus' lathers is vested by his death in Titus; and the d rectory part lis? forbidden anv one to enter on ano ther's property without Uie leave of the owner; if vnina aner uns presumes to lake possession ol tho land, the remedial part of the law will then interpose its ollice t will make Gams restore the possession to Titus and also pay him damage for Uie invasion," v e have quoted uie entire paragraph, because it showa, in a few plain words, and illustrates by a fa miliar example, ihe connection ol tho remedy with the right It is the part of a municipal law which protects the right, and tho obligation by which it enforces and maintains it It is Uiis protection which the clause in the Constitution now in question main ly inienuea to secure, aiiu it wouiu oe unjust to tlio memory of tho distinguished men who framed it to suppose that it was designed to protect a barren and abstract right, without any practical operation upon the bum nous of life. It waa undoubtedly adopted as a part of tho Constitution for a great and usef ul purjHwo. H was to maintain the integrity of contracts and to secure their laithtul execution throughout the Union, by placing them under the protection of the Constitution of the United State?, And it would ill become this Court undor any circumstance to detract from the plain meaning of the words used, and to si net ion a distinction between the right and the remedy which would render this provision illusivo and nugatory mere worda of form affording no protection and producing no practical result Wo proceed to apply these nrinc iplcs to the case before us. According to th? long aettled rule? of law and equity in all the Stale? whose jurisprudence haa been modelled upon the principle? of the common law, the legal title to the premises in quetthn vested in the complainant upon the failure of Uie mortgagor to comply with Uio conditions contained in the proviso. And at the law he had a right to sue for and recover Uie land itself. But in equity this legal title is regarded as a trust estate to secure the payment of the money; and therefore when the debt is discharged, there is a resulting trust for the mortgagor. J Peters, 441. Conrad vs. The Atlantic Insurance Company. When this contract was made no statute had been passed by the Stato changing the rules of law or equity in relation to a contract of this kind. None such, at least, has been brought to the notice of the Court ; and it must therefore be governed, and the rightj of the parties under it measured, by the rules above stated. They were the laws of Illinois at the time, and therefore entered into the contract and formed a part of il, without anu express stipulation to thai ef fect in On deed. Thus, for example, there is no cov enant in the instrument giving the mortgager the right to redeem by paying the money atter the doy limited in the deed, and before he waa foreclosed by the decree of the Com t of Chancery. Yet no one doubts his right or his remedy; for by the laws of the State Uicn in force, this right and this remedy was a part of the law of the contract, without any express agreement of the parties. So also the rights of the mortgagee as known to the laws required no express stipulation to define or secure them. They were annexed to the contract at the time it ivas made, and formed a part of it, and anu subsequent law im- pairint the rights thus acquired impairs the obligation which Uie contract imposed. Prom the ('inrimiati G net is, Put That nnd Thai Trilr. In February last, tho Pennsylvania House of Representatives had ordered an investigation, by committee, into certain allegations of fraud against Canal Commissioners. Mr. Wright, of Luzerno, tho Loeofoco Speaker, addressed the House on the subject, denouncing in strong terms (.overnor Porter's administration for its interference with his duties in selecting the Committee ! " hold in my hand (snid he) a paper containing a list of names written in the hand writing of a Cabinet officer of our State administration; and where, Mr. Siwaker, do you suppose I got it ; and what waa intended by it ? Vou could not guess, and I will tell yuu. 1 his little paper was presented to me shortly after it had been decided by this House that a Committee of Investigation should be appointed to inquire into allegations of fraud against the present Board of Canal Commissioners. That's the way I got it; and now aa to ils purport It pointed out to ITU, IK THE IIA.ND WRIT I NO OP AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER, what members of this House should be placed in thid Committee!! ! u And why all this trouble about this Investigating Committee? Wfiy th is effort on the part of those nearly allied and deep in the confidence of the powers that he, to control the actions of a certain Committee of this House? Could it be to whito-wash the conduct of those who were to pass in review before it? Was it intended by this to cover up cor ruption which smells so strong in the nostrils of the fcuplc Uiat they cry with one voice for their removal ? will leave you, Air. Speaker, and those who hear me, to answer theso interrogations for themselves." Again he says: H A Tyler press is to be started at Harrishurgh in a few days; and it is to be edited by an officer of the State Government; an officer of your State Administration, and who, until quite recently, was a flaming Johnson man. To be sure it is to start nut with Cass, but it is a Tyler press for all Uiat, and will douse Cass at a signal to bo given. Who that un derstands Uie workings, and the sly manouveringsof the managers of this farce, that cannot see through itr Who i? to be Secretary ot War under John ly-ler?

Potter, professedly a Cass man now, but how long even professedly so, when he gets a post under President 1 beg his pardon Capuiin Tyler ? It is not because tho Democracy of Pennsylvania desire it No ! the Democracy of Pennsylvania do not recommend Uiis measure." Again, after declaring himself a Buchanan man, he aays : f "I do not want to bo sold and will not be. Mv candidate cannot bo bargained away for an cfove. He and his friends understand themselves too well for that; but I am orry to say, that J am afraid an effort ta now making to haul over a certain etas? of Democrats.

The score-crows of the Anti-Tariff men are dis- si pa ted by experience about as fast a? Uiey can be got up. t irst tho tho INew Tariff was to destroy our shipping interest and all the Bailors in our port were induced tu vote the Loco Foco ticket lost fall, under Uie pretence Uiat Uie Whig tariff had reduced their wages and stopped their business. Now our shipping is fully employed, and freights as high as any reasonable shipper could ask. Then the tariff was to destroy tho revenue; but that humbug haa had it? day. The present tariff will rniso more revenue than that which the W logs found existing when Uiey came into power; and if the revenue tariff men had not grossly deserted their professed principles, by resisting the imposition of a duty on Tea and Coffee, we might have paid off the Government's indebtedness in three or four years "But the tariff enhances the pneo of tho protected article? io Uie consumer," any the Freo Traders, Well, airs, you assert Uiis, now prove it! Here are Uie Price? Current of this year and former yoara; show us where and what has been Uie increaso of price to the consumer! You cannot do it! The facts show irresistibly that on tho articles of which the Home Protection was efficiently protected by the new tariff, there has been an average dimunition of price equal to fifteen or twenty per cent Witness iron and hardware, coal, cotton and woolen fabrics, and all other great staple? protected by tho Tariff. What Iretext is left, then, for amailmg Uie tariff. The ournal of Commerce has discovered the last one-it import? Uiat fortifrn nations cannot pay its for our vast amount of erportablt product under this tariff! We like Uiis. Tne tariff haa turned the balance of trade largely in our favor, and now apecie by the shipload is coming over in payment for our exports, instead of tho fabrics Much we used to buy abroad, but which we are now making much c lienor at home, and thereby giving employment to our own People. Foreign nations can't pay us, and we must atop buying! Excellent! Wo can buy of other nations as easy as not when their duties are 100 per cent, and ours 20, but if we raise ours to the neighborhood of theira, they can't trade with us at all! Our Free Trader? can see clearly that other nations cannot buy unless they are allowed to sell; but wa can buy, whether we aro allowed to sell, or not ! But let ttietn be comforted the case is not without alleviation ; in the first place we need an infusion of apecie, especially if we are not to be allowed any other kind of national currency : and if Kneland and France have as much as is generally believed, they can spar? us sumo with benefit to all partioa. Then wo owe them two or Uiree hundred millions of Slate and mercantile dehts, incurred during tho years of our declining UrilV; and they are ready to sell dog cheap, and take cotton, pork, and wheat in payment So there need bo no trouble borrowed about the manner of getting our pay for a while yet After our currency shall have been reinforced and our debt cancelled, there ia no doubt we shall buy of Europe quite aa much as we can pay for, even under our present Tariff. I. Il Nl The hardness of tho times is a common theme. Nu political speech is made, or editorial essay written, iiardly, which does not descant upon it It ia felt by all, and there aro few who would deny the truth of tho picture drawn below by one who has himself suffered i -The toil of tho husbandman is no longer rewarded, no uinttor how broad his tlolds or promising his harvest Ho tills the earth with the feelings of freeman, but his reward is aa meagre as that of the alave. From this thraldom he anxiuusly limits forward to tho timo when, not only abundance, but ft fair remuneration for hi toil, will crown his laudable and praiseworthy effort.." Hut iMy it so? Why are thu husbandmen so shorn of their just reward? They themselves are measurably to blame. They havo lent their influence to tho party in power, or else hy their supine-ness have permitted Uiem to gain that pnwor. And if they would break the thraldom which has so bat- NUMBER 31. tered Uieir fortunes, or gain the goal in which "abundance and a fair remuneration for toil" ia to await laborer, farmer, merchant and manufacturer, they must rouse themselves, and put far away from Uieru Demagogue and Destructive, and sustain whatever upholds the real, substantial business interest? of the country.
